Re: ALL BLACKS V France C 1st Test. Match Thread.. Theo will be in attendance

Absorbing 80 minutes. Deservedly edged by ABs.

Probably the bravest ever Fre performance in NZ.

Defence so much stronger in the 2nd half and one that survived a yellow. Guillard a lion at 8. Villiere and Fickou dogs in defence.

Not the first AB "obstruction". These calls are marginal, so unlucky. Not a material obstruction imo.

It does have the look of a team that could get blown apart in the last 20min, but the half time reset can do crazy things
Same formula up front will create the fatigue and then the gaps will appear like an earthquake.

Ireland is very different. They have shitloads of space with about a 10th of our population density, so the pool shitters won't move to the small towns for years. You can go to towns an hour outside Dublin and think that there's been no immigration at all. Not the case anymore bud. I've seen huge c...

Yes it's been intense. Toulouse slightly in control but not nailing it.
